Talk about a strange couple. E! Online reports that actor Doug Hutchison of ‘The Green Mile’ and ‘Lost’ has married country singer Courtney Stodden in Las Vegas. This may not seem out of the ordinary until you consider that Hutchison is 51, while Stodden is a mere 16-years-old.

did this dude win or lose? I can’t tell…I’m thinking he’s winning for about 20-30 minutes a day and losing the rest of the day.

Pau Gasol must feel used and abused man, they traded for him, he helped them win the Championship twice and at the first sign of failure they wanna trade him away. Love is tougher though, and has proven himself this season I think.

Plus he’s younger and is a better rebounder, however I think Pau has a more polished offense game and is a better passer. Interesting trade I think, Minnesota would have the Spanish link between Gasol/Rubio. Pick and roll alllll day.

Love would likely see his scoring decrease cause the Lakers are a better offensive team and have more scoring options. In Minnesota he’s the man but in LA he’d have to learn to be the 2nd sometimes 3rd option and wouldn’t have the ball as much.

He was in the West before they traded for him anyway, and it’s not as if him going to Minnesota increases the T’Wolves ability to compete, they will still be a shitty team. Gasol doesn’t turn that team into a contender so the Lakers won’t have to worry.

Love would be fine with getting offensive rebounds and garbage points all day and defensive rebounds and outletting to Kobe all day and that’s it…plus they could use the 2 pick and get Kemba Walker. But none of that is gonna happen though.

Maaaan…there won’t even be a season next year. All these bums like Boris Diaw are exercising their options for $9 million next year. They want players to take a 50% pay cut? They should, but those dudes aren’t just gonna take half of what they’re expecting.

The NFL is arguing about how to share cash. The NBA players are way overpaid and the owners are losing money. It’s gonna be ugly.

Yup thats why the owners (most of em) want a hard cap. That would also be great parity wise.

We would see more than the same handful of teams winning year after year

NBA 2K11 is fucking irritating man, why do they miss lay ups so much? Any NBA caliber player is not missing those fucking easy open lay ups. These fucking players in the game couldn’t finish their lunch never find a fucking lay up! God damn!

If I’m Cleveland, I take Derrick Williams. He has more of a chance of making an immediate impact. Kyrie ain’t gonna do you any good if he doesn’t have anyone to facilitate to. Kyrie is a true PG and a little overrated. Hope they both do well, though.

The NBA NEEDS the change tho. How long can the same perennial powerhouses keep winnin year after year before the OTHER franchises cease to even be???

I argued this before on here but whats the point of the other 20+ franchises if the salary and roster rules are skewed toward the top handful??? Might as well just say fuck it and make it an 8 team league then

But this aint baseball we talkin bout and parity exists in baseball I know you know that.

Think about how cheap the Bird rules are in the NBA. Mainly, the fact that they can be TRADED WITH YOU TO ANOTHER TEAM! Think about the advantage this gives

I know other sports have dynasties but there is still SOME level of parity.

if the Knicks, Lakers, Mavs, Celtics, Heat and Bulls were NBA finalists every year, David Stern would be laughing all the way to the First National Bank Of Tel Aviv

^^^^

Not really… Why do you think the league is sufferin now??? Because they have 20+ other franchises just turnin to dust because of bullshit like Bird rules. All these bullshit sign and trades and crap are whats killin the league…

NO NBA next season. The other owners are NOT gonna keep losin millions per year while only 4 franchises make money…

Niggas wanna see a whole league perish for the sake of seein the SAME 6 TEAMS winnin for all eternity.

No one wants the see the Utah Jazz Vs Indiana Pacers NBA Finals, but I wouldnt mind seeing some besides the Lakers, Celts and Heat in the Finals

Niggas wanna see a whole league perish for the sake of seein the SAME 6 TEAMS winnin for all eternity.

No shots but I don’t get it really…

When Michael Jordan was winning all those championships…8-10 teams were fucking awful…nobody was complaining about how the league…the NBA finals rating were the highest since 2001…

nothing wrong w/ the league except these long contract years…

somebody has to save the owners from stupidly paying Joe Johnson 120 million,
and Travis Outlaw 30 million to hi five teammates and cheer from the bench
